Tickets available for Chamber fundraiser

A photo safari trip to Africa is the top prize for the annual Brooklyn-Irish Hills Chamber of Commerce All Sports Spectacular on Saturday, Sept. 28.

The event — the chamber’s largest fundraiser event of the year — will take place in Michigan International Speedway’s Champions Club, 12626 U.S. 12, beginning with a social hour at 4 p.m. and the annual dinner following. Proceeds from the evening will go to various community projects, including the annual fireworks show.

The dinner features raffle tables, silent and live auctions, games, prizes, and a Labrador retriever puppy, according to Cindy Hubbell, the chamber’s executive director.

“The favorite each year seems to be the Lab puppy, so of course we have a cute one coming,” Hubbell said. “No one can resist that puppy once it’s in your arms, cuddling up to you.”

The event has been named the All-Sports Spectacular because it encompasses a variety of sports — from fishing to hunting, golf to football, racing, and even tailgating, Hubbell said. There are spa and vacation packages up for grabs. The raffle tables will showcase a variety of packages, art prints, guns and items for camping, racing, water sports, ice fishing and hunting.

Tickets range from $45 per person to $375 for a table of 10 and are available by stopping at the chamber office, 124 S. Main St. in Brooklyn, by calling 592-8907 or by visiting brooklynmi.com.
